After designing the house, applying for an IMB, and finalizing the budget, it's time to determine the construction schedule. Avoid starting construction during the rainy season, as it can lead to delays and issues with the house's completion. It's better to initiate construction during the dry season when the heat helps expedite the drying of various components in the building structure.
